| Innersound Kilowatt Monoblock, how good is it? The amp running warm could also indicate the biasing, I think. My DNA 1.0 idled much warmer than the 0.5 ran, and S. McCormack indicated to me that that was normal. | |
| Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner? Amazing the amount of heat a little liquid Nitrogen can generate! | |
| Have you seen HD-VHS yet? I saw a tape of Japan sourced from a JVC HD-VCR to a Pioneer Elite Plasma display about 6 months ago. It was unbelievable. Like looking thru an immaculately clean window. | |
| Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner? I guess the question is, does it make sense to "daisy chain" them by using at the wall AND in the Chang Lightspeed that I use now for source and pre-amp. I definately will change the wall outlet for my 2 amps and the wall outlet that the Chang plu... | |
| Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner? Maxgain- I have been following your oddessy closely. Haven't yet had time to install, and was trying to decide where to use them. I've got 4, thought I'd put one on the wall from my amps, one on the wall for my Chang, and then install the other 2 ... | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo I know that I found a very significant improvement when I went from a McCormack DNA 1 to a pair of DNA 0.5s in a horizontal bi-amp. I know that RV recommends vertical biamping, but right now I've got one Rev B and one Deluxe, so I've got the Rev B... | |
| Has anyone tried using a marine AM/FM antenna? I've been told that the Magnum Dynalab ST-4 is sourced from a marine antenna supplier. | |
| The Legendary ? Infinity IRS V Will- could it be the Krells? | |
| Vandersteen 5 vs Model 2c/2wq Combo Maxgain offers a good analysis. I owned a pair of 2cis for about 10 years, and as my electronics and source improved, I was able to get much better sound and lots of enjoyment from my modest (in high end terms)speaker investment. I have now gradua... | |
| First system-any thoughts? I agree, great for $1K. However, you can do much better on the TT for not much $$. Music Hall, Rega, older Thorens would fill the bill, altho not much point until you get the phono section fixed. If its a tube, I would recommend getting new old st... | |
| TT Dust cover inter-change ??? Unfortuately, that's the same price as the SOTA covers. WAY high, IMO. I'm gonaa make do with my cracked cover, unless this thread turns up a reasonably priced substitute. And while we are talking SOTA, does anyone have an amrmboard drilling templ... | |
| Issues from using wrong spkr. termination Jeff Delman is correct. | |
| Tubes....did I pass up a good deal? Rwd- if your willing to take a chance, you can get used 6922s purported to be Amperex for much less than that on ebay. I bought 4 lightly used Valvo CCas for about $110.00! And Amperex PQs should run you about $10 if they are used. | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? BAT VK5i has a remote as a factory option; phono board is an option, either @ factory or very easily installable after sale. Need to be a little careful about compatibility; not all boards work with all pres. I myself am curious about CAT/BAT/ARC ... | |
| Which is a reliable CD changer? There is a CAL CL-10 for sale right now. I am using one with a Classe' DAC and it sounds terrific. The CAL has coax, AES/EBU and some even have ST glass digital out. Or maybe a CL-5 which would be cheaper and since you are using an outboard DAC wo... |
